Oh, I see now. I totally missed the updated version and used the wrong dsc file as base for the sponsoring. For the workflow you did the right thing, MAYBE you could delete old versions from mentors after uploading a new iteration, but I'm not sure if mentors allows you that. (you can delete before uploading, but a bot will close the RFS, so this will then require you to reopen the RFS bug) I'll take a look at the new version right away, it is no problem to upload another version to the NEW queue. > The binary change would be: > > * New upstream version 1.9 > - adds libsecret integration for credential management > > And the source change: > > * Remove m4 macros from source tree > > > Future Work: > > - it seems that many of the m4 macros are packaged in autoconf-archive. > > Please check whether those can be used to compile the package, as > > outdated m4 files are a source of compilation problems and autoconf- > > archive is a good way to help there. > > Upstream have now removed the m4 macros and they are regenerated by > autoreconf automatically via debhelper now.
